Weird issue with Elvira. I am missing JUST the speech from Dracula. It doesn't play in test mode either.
Bought and installed new sound ROMS but no dice.
Any suggestions?

Quoted from Astill:if everything else works , orobably the rom containing dracs voice , i dont know what one it is on though.
I replaced all the sound ROMs and nothing changed. I did find a similar thread about an F-14 that was having a similar issue.

The final solution that someone posted was about a Pinbot that sounds promising (although I couldn't identify these ICs on my machine).
"Had this issue with 2 Pinbots,another system 11A game.The first Pinbot had a bad 55564 CVSD which is harder to replace because it is soldered directly to the board.The second game had a bad 6802 microprocessor,easy to replace because it is socketed.Marco has both these IC's"
I am going to resurrect this thread. I swapped the ROMS to a board out of a working Pool Sharks and all of the sounds were present.
It has to be the board. So I guess I can either send the board someplace or try to track down which IC is the culprit.
I just swapped the 3 sound ROMS along with the IC over to the other board. I didn't change the ROMs on the MPU. That sounds right. Elvira's speech was present, only Dracula was missing.
It is probably best for me to get someone to fix it.
I hate to resurrect this old thread but I have gotten several emails over the years about this problem and was it ever fixed. Elvira is long gone now, but about 2-3 years ago I replaced the soundboard with a rebuilt one that tested good and Drac's sounds came back. Not sure what the problem with the board really was but there was something bad on the board that I never tracked down. The bad board is sitting in my "board graveyard" someplace now.
